I agree that letting people with male body parts use women rest rooms
isn't something we should be doing. Until a Trans person has female
body parts they should be using a male rest room.

I don't see it as an insult as I can't see Trans people as being an
insult to Christians. To me one of the main components of Christianity
is an acceptance of others including Trans and gay people. So given
that the day was always on the 31st of March since it was first
created that it was on Easter Sunday this year wasn't an affront to
Christians and Biden just recognizing the worth of Trans people and
their value to their communities doesn't appear to be any sort of
affront to Christianity.

Go ahead and flame me if that makes you feel better as it's all just
words. Nothing like a great flame fest to make people feel better.
